Quitting is a process. People stumble. There is never a good time to quit. [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/29/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 101 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,015 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $505 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 9 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

Reasons???? Does a smoker need a reason? Not trying to be smart but there was no GOOD reason if you know what I mean. I wasn't fully committed. I was weak. I lost my motivation. The time wasn't right? I missed my crutch. I wanted to smoke. It was a holiday weekend. I was bored. All of the usual garbage! Anyway here's a laugh.....after 4 cigarettes, I threw up big time. I was so ill you would not believe it. Did that discourage me? Well yes, for a whole day. I did not smoke the following day. Did not want to. Felt I had the hangover from hell. Next day well I persevered (death wish complex) and here I am .....a smoker once again. Lesson.....Don't smoke. Not one puff ever. This trip for me was very difficult. I don't know why. Maybe somewhere deep inside I am contrary. Anyway I am going to have another go. This time I plan to succeed no matter how painful the process. I will check in from time to time to see how everyone is doing. Bless you all in this journey. Finally, do not be tempted.....they are not what they seem. They taste lousy and make you feel even worse. I feel as though I am back in the spider's web. Don't worry I will get out! :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/31/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 68 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,053 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �510 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

Susie, I'm sorry to hear about this but just know what we'll be waiting for you. Do you mind me asking what caused the set back? Maybe the rest of us can learn something too. Take care and can't wait for you to come back.

Why not trying again and, in case, again?! You're always mostly welcome to be a non smoker. Take care :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 63 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 317 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $63 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Sorry to see this susie, but I know we'll see you back here when you're ready. If you can't put the smokes down before your hols, do try and reeeeeeally be aware when you want one during, it'll come up every time you go away. Wish you well, and hurry back.

Well I thought I would come here and let all of you know that I am smoking again. I don't feeel proud about myself and I fervently wish I had not given up my quit but I did and now I have to face the consequences. I feel sooooooooooooooo bad!!!!! Anyway they taste lousy and I still don't know what the attraction is.But for now I don't have the strength. We go on holiday on 5/5 and I return on 26/5. I will be back after the holidays. Thank you all for all the support during my quit. I will miss you all until I get back. :( [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/31/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 67 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,019 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �502.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2
